In another development, the sheriff of Las Vegas Joseph Lombardo told reporters Monday that a security guard who was injured by Paddock was in fact shot six minutes before the gunman opened fire on the crowd.

Paddock sprayed an outdoor concert with bursts of gunfire from high above in a Las Vegas hotel window on October 1, killing 58 and wounding hundreds more, before shooting himself.

Authorities have checked out more than 200 instances of the deceased gunman's activities throughout the Vegas area and found "no evidence to show a second shooter", Lombardo said. "So he had had that written down and figured out so he would know where to shoot to hit his targets from there".

Unlike many other mass killers who have unleashed bloodshed in America's churches, colleges, nightclubs, workplaces, college towns, or public spaces, Paddock left no clear sign that authorities have identified so far.

Paddock said in a 2013 court deposition that he was "the biggest video poker player in the world", according to CNN, which obtained a copy of the 97-page document. "He tried to make people care, and I don't know what happened to him".

Law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation confirmed to ABC News Sunday that the note found on Paddock's hexagon-shaped nightstand contained such numerical figures.

"This individual purposely hid his actions leading up to this event", Sheriff Lombardo said.

The sheriff said, "We believe he chose to take the lives he did and he had a very purposeful plan he carried out". The FBI, Red Cross, and city and county officials are doing an "amazing job" on that front, Lombardo complimented, calling it "not an easy task to undertake".

"This week we witnessed one of the worst tragedies in American history", Aldean said before starting the song.

Eric Paddock said that when Stephen Paddock's body is released, he wants to have his remains cremated and sent to their 89-year-old mother, who also lives in Orange County.
